Show me a more minimalist distribution than Arch and Gentoo. I guess you won't find one. And if you did I suggest you switching to this distro.
This is the entire reason i want arch to officialy state that these users are not welcome. I want to move on, so we can split up the user bases. Ultimately so both sides can continue their life without the constant (and i'm meaning constant. this isnt the first time this discussion exploded) need to reevaluate if arch should do this or that.
If Arch doesn't fit your needs then choose another distro or build one by yourself.
It's done. All i want is to settle this in a useful way.
I think that's about all that can be said then. Arch Linux, and its devs/community, does not dislike (or fail to welcome) minimalist users. The only users Arch does not welcome are those who don't want to do their homework, as far as I can see (obviously not you). All users are welcome to make THEIR Arch install what they want.
